Chapter 3 Rachel's perspective
Amanda was over at Rachel's house and that is when it all happened.
"This is the police! Open up! You are surrounded!" Came a booming voice from outside.
"What should we do?!" Rachel loudly whispered to her shocked friend. But to no avail Amanda was speechless.
Oh great! Rachel thought. Now what will we do? Rachel walked to the door with Amanda silently tailing behind."Hi officer. Will you please tell me why you
are here?" Rachel said to the tall and clean-shaven police officer. She could feel the blood draw from her faceand feel her hands shake with
nervousness."Get down on your knees and reach as far forward as possible!" The officer yelled the well-rehearsed sentence in her ear. To afraid to
disagree they did what they where told. They where hand cuffed and kept on the ground.
Rachel noticed how brown the grass was. In those few short minutes that seemed like forever she got to know the ground real well weal the officer told
her the rights.
Mr. Lajoie's perspective
I did not mean to tell on them. I mean they are just 13-year-old kids. It was just taunting me. All the trees in front of me house! I couldn't stand it! It
also did not help that I looked in Rachel's spare locker and found the tree. I'm sorry! And now I will most likely never see them again! What am I going to
do! They where my favorite students!
He slowly walked to his car but stopped along the way to glare at the trees. Everything about the day taunted him. How when he got there the police
had forcefully ripped open their locker doors. He could see the trail of dirt leading down the hall and a yellow caution police area tape around the lockers.
How am I going to explain this to the other students? He thought for a moment then left the haunting scene to go back to trying to forget the damage
that was done...
